Help: Uploading Files to the Resource Exchange
There are two options for contributing to the Resource Exchange, uploading a file to the National Center's secure servers for storage or linking to a file that is already stored elsewhere on the Internet.
Uploading files does not give the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education any ownership over your files, you are simply granting permission for the National Center to host files on your behalf. For additional information, see our submission policy.
Help: Linking to a File Stored on the Internet
There are two options for contributing to the Resource Exchange, uploading a file to the National Center's secure servers for storage or linking to a file that is already stored elsewhere on the Internet.
Before linking to a file, make sure that it is publicly accessible to other people on the Internet, both from a legal and functional aspect.
Help: Choosing a Resource Type
The resource type relates to the type of file your are uploading or linking to. The resource exchange contribution form will accept any type of file regardless of what resource type you choose, but choosing the most applicable type ensures your contribution will be accurately categorized so others can easily find it. Below are some examples to help you decide:
Document
Any kind of printed document or paper. Typically these are PDF, Word, Excel, or some other type of text-centric file.
Help: Choosing a Collection
Collections are general categories determined by the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education. All contributions to the Resource Exchange must be associated with one of the pre-determined collections. If your contribution fits into more than one collection, please choose the one that is most appropriate.
To further categorize your contribution, consider the "Additional Tags" field below it.
If you have a suggestion or feedback about the collections, please email nexusipe@umn.edu.
Help: Adding Additional Tags
The Additional Tags field provides the opportunity for you to further categorize your contribution. The field can hold any number of terms or topics, each separated by a comma.
The field draws from the same list of tags that you use for the Skills and Interests section of your public profile, so as you type you will notice tags that other people have already used. Using these tags is a great way to help relate content and people.
Integral Theory and Activity Theory as a Meta Model for IPE
I have come to believe that integral theory http://integrallife.com/node/37539 and activity theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_theory are useful models that support analysis and understanding of inter professional health professions activity in light of the four quadrants of integral theory. What do others think about this? How might the application and intentional use of integral and activity theory advance our understanding and development of innovations in IPR education, practice and research?
On the road with the National Center
Over the past week, the National Center has connected with colleagues in South Dakota, Colorado, and Massachusetts.
